Seems a bargain to me assuming it's mechanically sound. Better looking than a bugeye too

Depends what you have driven before, that car has only 208 bhp.

Mind, I went out in one EXACTLY the same before I bought mine, and it was just like the salesman at another garage said, "Have you tried a Subaru Impreza? No? Well go and test drive one, but a word of warning. Before you do, make sure you can afford one, because after you drive one, you'll want one, trust me."

He was right. Drove, and ordered the same day.

In those days the wait was EIGHT MONTHS for a new car!!!

Thanks for replies...
Ive owned quite a ew fast cars,big fan of the volvo t5,had the old cavalier/calibra turbos,evo 6,driving a saab 93 I could have put to 240bhp but its bad on petrol as most 2.o turbos and fw,was thinking at 2-3k a skyling gts or some thing or import evo 6 at 3k but il wait 6 month see what insurance renewals like...

Any thing I should look out for??
yea its lower miled then the bug eye too,from a dealer so expecting it to run fine or they woulnt of took it in but I bet it was a cheap PX so may have some thing up, only 1 owner.,it has no roost so im thinking,well preying its running fine,kin of a ****ty ebay eal but if I spot head gasket failure or signs im thinking just walk..

Whats my options of 300bhp or 280 on this?
Pease pm me any one who maps on the cheap or who has reliable files I can get napped in if it works like that on these,not read to much but im happy at 280, 208 is low..

1035 with 12 t+t I thinks good if clutch or nothing wrong with engine..
Any one from doncaster??
hatfield + stainforth?with any experience with these?
